Driving totally normal i hear some noise followed by black smoke and alot of oil on the ground..

I get out and inspect my car and find that there is a large fist size hole in my block.. Now the shop is trying to tell me that the motor is NOT salvagable.. I have only driven my car maybe 150 miles after turbo install and have never even had a chance to go above 4.5K RPM.. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS??

1. Is this shop reliable??

2. If not is there a way i can salvage the engine

P.S. Before i took my car from the shop they took it to a nissan dealership right down the road and had them do i diagnostics test.. All Nissan said was it was the tensioner from my timing chain..And now i got a hole in my block..
